I watched it...

Clegg won.

Cameron a close second.

Brown... Was nothing like the leader we need right now.

I'm actually embarrassed he is our leader.

Brown could have given a speech as inspiring as Martin Luther King's 'I have a dream' and you two would have said exactly the same thing.

I can't see how Cameron was a close second to Clegg. Clegg won it by a mile as the polls have suggested. Cameron was annoying as usual and Brown isn't the best at this sort of thing but at least he has substance (unlike Cameron). Brown shouldn't have smirked while the others were speaking and should have cut out the jokes (although I loved the Lord Ashcroft one).

And at no point did Cameron say he wanted a fully elected House of Lords. He said he would cut the number of MP in the two houses by 10%.

I don't give a crap about what the polls showed. Aren't i allowed my OWN opinion on how it went down and what i thought?

And as for the bolded. He was smirking, joking and lying his way through the entire thing... That isn't the type of leader this country needs at this moment in time. He spent half of his talking time trying to put down the Conservatives and bumlick the Lib Dems instead of talking about his own parties policies.

  Clearly you were anti-Brown before it started. As for Cameron... he would have done exactly the same if he was in Brown's position. Go back to the 1992 election. Tory fear mongering, 'covering up' the problems as best they could. It doesn't mean they are lying, of course, it means they have a very limited space to acknowledge issues they have. They have to cherry-pick, just as the other parties play on media manipulation and public ignorance of what is going on. The whole game is a sham. This is why we need a new system of government. A hung parliament is the best outcome in my opinion because it will show what cooperation can do over petty infighting and shallow point making, that thrives on an ignorant public. Not even the MPs are fully aware of what is going on. There's just too much information to cope with.
